A friend of mine set this too me with the caption "too true!!!". I figured since it was coming up to flu and cold season, that some of you guys might get a laugh out of this too.
Personally I don't see what point this friend was trying to make. She obviously doesn't understand the severity of a man cold.
I'm puzzled. My father and I never get colds, I'm surprised other men do. We may sneeze, cough, feel run down, suffer aches and pains, suffer sore throats and such, but we don't get colds. Because if one has a cold one just sits about doing nothing but feeling sorry for one's self. No no no! There is work to be done and stuff to do. We may take a bit of cold medicine to treat the aforementioned symptoms (and drink a little more coffee than usual to keep going) but we certainly don't have colds.

I rarely got colds, but suffer from allergies. Suprisingly though since I quit smoking I now get bronchitis twice a year. Ah well that's a decent trade given the alternative.
I will say though that neither the world nor life ever stops when I have a cold, but when my wife is sick I am convinced that she has a new illness that has yet to be discovered by medical scientists
Once, when I was a college undergrad and before I had entered the convent myself, I had a TERRIBLE cold. One of the older Sisters gave me a small mayonaise jar (cleaned, of course) filled with whiskey. She told me to go home and mix it with lemon juice and use such and such ounces mixed with this and that.
Well, as a poor college student, I didn't have any this or that or lemons, and I could not figure how much whiskey was the equivalent of "X" ounces...SO...I just drank down the entire jar! I must say, I slept VERY WELL that night!
